RADIATOR.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. t9, tQtt.

Application filed January 13, 1910. Serial No. 537,807.

T o all whom *it may concern:

Be it known that 1, GEORGE MILLER Arns- Wolrrn, a subject of the King of Great Britain, and a resident ot' Collingwood, in the Province of Ontario and Dominion of Canada, have invented a new and Improved Radiator, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention has for its object to provide a radiator which will not take up any of the floor space ina room, and one which will not disflgure the Walls, While it will permita full flow of air from the room around the radiator and back again to the room.

Another object of the invention is to so arrange the device that there is no danger of the entrance of smoke, dust or ashes into the room, and to so dispose the radiator that the possibility of the Walls and the decorations of the room being soiled by dust from the floor, which has become heated, will be reduced to the minilnum.

Other objects are to so arrange and assemble the parts that the ordinary construction of the Wall in which the radiator is disposed is not materially altered, and to r0- vide a radiator, the cost of which Wil be about one-quarter the cost of cast iron radiators, such as are now on the market.

Still another object of the invention is to so reinforce and construct the Walls of the radiator that they may be made much thinner than in other constructions, thus assuring the most conductivity and the most economical results. As the walls of the radiator assure vgreater conductivity of the heat, it is unnecessary to have a large, eX- posed surface or a number of turns in the radiator conduit. y

Still other objects of the invention will appear in the. following complete description.

In this specification l will describe the preferred form of my invention, it being understood that the scope of the invention is defined in the appended claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views, and in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view, showing a portion of the interior of the room and the wall in which my radiator has been disposed; Fig. 2 is a-side elevation of the wall in which one of my radiators is disposed, a

portion of the wall being broken away to show the arrangement of the radiator; Fi 3 is a transverse, sectional View of the Wal in which a radiator is disposed; Fig. 4 is a sectional view on the line 4.-4 of Fig. 2; and Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing a fragment of a copper plate and the iron reinforcing.

By referring to the drawings it .will be seen that in the wall 5 there are spaces between the studs G and 7, the stud 7 having an opening therethrough, connecting the spaces at either side. Rods 8 are provided which connect the studs, and around these rods there are disposed two sheets of copper plate 9, one of the sheets of copper plate 9 being situated at each side of the stud 7. The rods are disposed in groups of three each, the upper rod 8 serving to support the sheets of copper plate 9, which are looped, and the two lower rods 8 serving to separate the front and rear walls of the copper plate 9. The same construction is provided for each side of the central stud 7. The edges of the sheet of copper plate 9 are bent to form flanges 10, and members 11 constructed preferably of tin, are disposed at each side of each of the copper plates 9, the members 11 connecting the flanges 10 and being bent thereover to hold the sides of the copper plates in position. These flanges 10 and the terminals 12 of the members 11 Which are bent over the said ianges, are secured to the studs 6 and 7 by means of nails 13, strips of asbestos 14: being disposed between the members l1 and the studs 6 and 7. Around the opening 1-5 in the central stud 7, there are disposed strips of asbestos 16, which are continued from the asbestos strips 14:` disposed at the sides of the central stud 7. One member 11, at the top of the stud 7 runs down along one of its sides, through the opening 15 and up its other side, while the other member 11 is continued upwardly at one side of the ystud 7, through the opening 15 and down the other side.

When the members are constructed and are assembled as has been described, it will be seen that there is a conduit, which rises at one side of the central stud 7, which passes through the said central stud and Which extends downwardly at the other side of the said central stud 7, the said passage or conduit being formed by the copper plates 9 and the members 11, the copper plates 9 and the said members 11 being separated from the studs 6 and 7 by the asbestos strips 14 and 16. To the top and the bottom of the copper lates 9 are secured ironv reinforcing mem rs 17, the terminals; 18 of the said reinforcing members 17 being bent over to form anges in contact with the anges 12 of the copper plates 9, the said terminals 18 of the ironrreinforcing members 17 being secured to the studs 6 and 7 with the said anges 12. Rising throu h the floor 19, there are two pipes 20, one o. which is connected with lthe terminals of each of the copper plates 9 by connecting members 21,

there being dampers 22v disposed in the connecting members, so that communication between the pipes and compartments 23 formed by the copper plates 9, may be out oli when desired.. The pipes .2O arel connected with aYhot-air furnace (not shown).

The walls formed by the copper plates 9 are disposed at distances from either side of the,

wall 5, to permit of the passage of air between the inner vsides of the said walls 5 and the outer sides of the copper plates 9. These passages 24 between the copper plates 9 and the inner sides of the wall, are connected with the room near the floor by an opening 25 which permits the air from the room to pass between the inner sides of the wall and around the compartments 23 formed by the copper plates 9. Inasmuch as 'the sides of the connecting'members 21 converge downwardly, the air enteringA the opening 25 may pass the connecting members, as at 26, to the `rear of the compartments 23. -Above the plane of the upper rod 8, there is another opening 27, which leads into the room, there being a delecting plate 28 which is secured to the studs 6 and 7, and which is adapted to direct, through the opening 27, the air which rises around the compartments 23 and becomes heated in consequence.

Ashas been stated, the pipes 20 are connected with a hot-air heater, the hot air rising in one of the pipes 20, as shown by the arrows, enterin one of the compartments 28', passing t rough the opening in the central stud 7 into the other compartment 23 and thence downwardly through the pipes 20 to become re-heated in the usual way by the furnace.

By means of the handles 29, the dampers 22 may be closed or be opened, as desired, thereby regulating the hot air passing into and through the compartments 23 formed by the copper plates 9 and the members 11. As the copper plates 9 become heated by the hot air, they heat the air in the assages 24 which causes it toV rise and pass intolthe room through the openings 27 thereby creating a circulation of air through the openings 25,through the passages 24, around the compartments 23 and out through the openings 27 into the room. Theopenings 25 and 27 are preferably covered by metal plates 30, havin openings to permit the air to pass theret rough.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:
